It didn't take long for Musk to realize that it was indeed a wise move for him to stay with the innkeeper. With his all-around wit, eloquence, and ability to liven up the atmosphere, Musk felt that he was obviously underqualified to be an innkeeper.

The best way to get closer is to have a meal together. From strangers to familiarity, it only takes one meal.

Master Ma Xian, who was in the beginning, has now transformed into a little brother, and he has dealt with all kinds of things.

While the relationship is in place, I will ask the question that is on my mind: Do I need to pay grain tax on the fields given by the sect?

Master Wu, oh! Now it’s time to call Brother Wu, and he patted his chest and said loudly: There are regulations on this. Every sect’s immortal master’s land does not have to pay taxes, but there is an upper limit of one thousand acres.

He also advised: "Brother, just take some money and buy all the official land for you in Majia Village. It is estimated that there are only 800 acres left. Then you can enter the village along the entrance of the mountain pass." Build a wall, the inside is yours, and you don’t have to pay taxes anyway. The provincial government will take care of it, and you will become the local emperor.

As soon as these words came out, Musk was very excited, but when he heard the price quoted by Brother Wu: If someone else comes to buy it, it will cost five taels of silver now. As we are brothers, four taels will be enough. Musk just felt like something was wrong, but there was no evidence.

However, when the alarm bells are ringing, keep tight the few coins left in your pocket, otherwise you will really be poor.

Can't afford it, don't want it, let it pass.

Brother Wu refused to give up and continued to cheat. By then, including the spring grain currently planted in the field, it would still be four taels per acre.

Damn it, this time I seem to remember that when we were chatting a few nights ago, I curiously asked my uncles and them questions: Why did our ancestors settle in Majia Village? The answer seems to be that land is cheap.

No need to think that it would definitely be cheaper than the current four taels, but I couldn’t help but complain in my heart, why don’t you grab it! Seeing that I am young, he still wants to fool me.

I can only skip this question in the name of haha.

When everyone is drunk, I am alone sober. Musk, who doesn’t drink, is almost the same. When others drink, I drink tea, and that is all based on my strength.

I felt uncomfortable with bloating in my lower abdomen, so I went out to pee on an excuse. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper also came out with an excuse.

"I have to thank Brother Zhao for accompanying me today, otherwise I wouldn't know how to drink for the county magistrate." Musk sincerely thanked him.

"Hey, my little brother calls me big brother. This little thing is just a trivial matter. It doesn't matter. It costs you money in the store." Shopkeeper Zhao said sincerely that business is business and friendship is friendship. Sure enough, he is worthy of his name: Zhao Liu, indeed very good.

"How much did Brother Zhao spend in total today? If it's not enough, I'll make up for it for you." Musk guessed what Shopkeeper Zhao was thinking when he heard this.

"No, no, I bought it based on the money. The cost was just right. The main reason was that the old wine was expensive and the rabbit cost a lot. My wife is good at braised rabbit meat and wanted to let everyone try it, but I didn't have it either. I’ll buy it after discussing with you.” Shopkeeper Zhao was a little embarrassed to give the food payment.

"Well, it's okay. You can spend it as you should. It's not a lot of money. My wife's cooking skills are pretty good. If Wolong County wasn't so remote, there would be no problem opening a big restaurant." What else could Musk do when he heard that all the money had been spent? , even those who dare to charge more than a dozen taels for a meal even though it is not so rich have eaten it. It is really not expensive.

When the matter was finished, the two of them went to the latrine in the backyard for convenience, then staggered back to the hall.

We chatted for a while, maybe we were drunk. County Magistrate Cheng didn't go crazy after drinking, but just kept talking nonstop. Musk couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Zhang Tou to send Mr. Cheng back.

After all, Zhang Captou was in his prime and in good health, and he didn't drink much, so he agreed.

Then he confirmed with Zhang Captou again that he was going to Xicheng Yaxing to find Li Si, and then drove the carriage to Hongfeng Town.

After all, this place is still more than fifty miles away from Hongfeng Town. The carriage will take at least two hours, and we should be able to arrive before dark if nothing unexpected happens.

The weather was good, the sun was quite hot, and there was no one on the official road. This horse has not been active for several days. Today it is a complete let-down. It has covered fifty miles in less than two hours.

There were obviously a lot less people in the town today, and it was not too late to look at it. I guess there was no dental shop that had not yet got off work, so I drove directly to Xicheng Yahang. This place is easy to find, and it is close to the largest store in Xicheng Gate. that is.

On both sides of the gate with red lacquer and copper nails, stands a majestic and muscular man on one side. Under the steps stand a pair of huge stone lions on the left and right, a black gilded plaque, and a courtyard wall of blue bricks and tiles. Just from the appearance, you can tell that this business is very profitable.

The class representative said: Sure enough, buying and selling, taking advantage of information gaps, leaving nothing to chance, middlemen making the difference, no matter what the world is, they are the most profitable in this industry.

After tying up the horse, he took Wangcai out of the car and put it on a rope. He led him up the stone steps to the tooth shop. Behind the stone lion next to him, a little thin boy stuck out his little head. He looked at Musk curiously, and then couldn't move his eyes away from Wangcai on the ground.

Suddenly a slender hand stretched out to pull the boy back, and Musk walked up the steps.

When passing by, I turned around and took a look. Behind the stone lion were a pair of siblings. They were probably about the same age and height as me. The clothes he was wearing were faded and slightly gray. Although there were many patches, they were quite neat and clean. She has a thin and yellow face, a pair of crystal clear eyes under her bangs and hairline, and with the stone lions at her back, she has the feeling of being down and out on the streets.

After walking up the steps for a few steps, the strong man A respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "Young Master, please stay. What are you doing here at Yaxing?"

Mainly because he was a new face, and he was still a child. If he wasn't driving a carriage and wearing rich clothes, the young master of that family might not be able to offend him, so he would stop him and chase him away like a fly, and maybe even say: "Go." Go, little brat, stay where you can get cool, this is not your place to play.

"Oh, I'm here to talk to Li Si from your dental shop about something. I wonder if he is there?" Musk directly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Oh, so you came to see Mr. Li. Yes, he is inside. Go straight along this road. Did you see him? He is probably drinking tea in the room with the open door."

Musk looked in the direction of the strong man's finger, and there was indeed an open door a hundred steps away.

"Thank you for your advice, brother!" Musk also expressed his thanks with a decent clasped fist.

"You're welcome, young master. You're welcome, please come in. Please come in." Strong Man A also invited politely.

"Okay. Thank you!" Musk led Wangcai through the door and walked along the bluestone road towards the room.

People treat me with courtesy, and I return courtesy to others.

He didn't even take a few steps after entering the courtyard. If he concentrated a little, he could hear several people inside drinking tea and discussing matters. Musk, who now has different senses and senses than ordinary people, heard it very clearly. It seemed that he had reached the level of Qi Refining. Well, it’s not a good thing to have sharp ears and eyesight. Even this business secret was clearly heard by me from a distance.
